Cheap flights from Bristol to Tenerife

The shoulder weeks around Christmas are worth a look first, then December itself, which is the cheapest month on this route. Fares are listed from October through to August, so you can see how the price climbs into the island's peak season and the British school holidays. Booking on a weekday and travelling midweek usually leaves you more room in the fare calendar than a Friday or Saturday departure.

Start with what the ticket covers: on Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2 the base fare is little more than a seat, and bags, seat choice and food sit outside it, so the headline price grows with every extra. TUI Airways sells package-style fares where baggage is more often built in, while Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines, Edelweiss Air and Loganair Limited typically work on a fuller-service model with a checked allowance included. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines connects through its hub when a direct departure time does not suit — compare the total after extras, not the sticker price.

Before you land, decide which end of the island you actually need. Tenerife Sur serves the southern resort belt, while Tenerife Norte sits closer to La Laguna and the greener north. Both have bus links into the island's towns, and taxis and hire cars are the usual fallback outside bus hours. The two airports are on opposite sides of the island, so a wrong choice costs you real driving time — check the airport code on your booking before you set off.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Bristol has a single airport, so confirm your departure terminal and time rather than an airport choice.
• Weigh your bag against the low-cost allowance before you pay, since Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2 charge for anything beyond a small cabin piece.
• Check your passport meets Spain's entry rules and is valid for the whole stay.
• If you book a connecting itinerary on separate tickets, allow enough time between flights for a missed first leg.
• Compare December against the school-holiday months, since the same seat can shift sharply between them.
• Confirm which of the two Tenerife airports your ticket names before arranging a transfer.
